𝘼 𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 𝘼𝙘𝙩 - exercises for the everyday, from the everyday What (or where) is the “public” in public art? Is it the people, shared spaces, or both? Does the notion of the “private” exist in public art? Can public art infiltrate the private spheres of individuals? Can it be privately experienced?  𝘈 𝘋𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘈𝘤𝘵 attempts to find beauty in the mundane by encouraging participants to explore and engage more closely with their everyday routines. Instructions distributed across Tanjong Pagar invite closer interactions with their environments, immediate objects, or each other. They may walk past them on their way to the train station, or pause to observe a postcard while enjoying their coffee. Perceptions shift, senses heighten and actions become more deliberate, allowing the quiet poetry of our surroundings that is rooted in the active participation of the public to come to the fore. Can the banal become remarkable?  — From now till 31 July 2024, instructions are distributed across Tanjong Pagar, awaiting your engagement.
